Hey Craig,
Yes, it looks like it could be good. I'll try to do Shylock either Monday night or Tuesday night. Wed doesn't work for me since I'm loading up to head south for the second half of the Run. This is a great time to go after galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. And spring globulars.

Not sure if the Shylock site is open/snow free enough to use. Hard to tell by the highway web cams.
If anybody has been by there lately, please let us know.
Other wise i am hiding in Darrel's truck.

The Cam at Hope Slide is at 2400 feet and shows no snow off the road. The Great Bear Snow Shed at 3100 shows snow everywhere.
Shylock is at 1800 so I'd hope it was clear but not guaranteed since the Coq is so very snow bound. Just look at the Larson Hill Cam at 3300'. It is snowless. So location, not just elevation is a real difference. Remember, the railway was terminally closed down in '59 because the snow was just too much work.
So like Mark said if anyone is passing thru please let us know if there's snow at Shylock.
As for Monday night, the jet stream prediction looks quite bad. Tuesday is predicted as much better.

Looks like i won't be going anywhere soon. My dog, Koda got attacked by the neighbors mutt to
the tune of 700 dollars. Yes, he is paying the bill! Downside is I have an injured Pal who loves
to keep moving, but with a nearly 20 stitches and 2 drains, he can't travel. He is pretty much
glued to my leg for the next little while. I may do a backyard run early in the AM with the 20".
Any of you guys get out, post up here. I need the lift.
